No Soccer - Bad / No School - Catastrophic!

He's the truth. A pitcher is worth millions if he can pitch left handed and not get hurt. If this country was run by the KKK and the White Supreme Dudes, you would not see a picture like this of folks becoming citizens of the United States of America. That is mho :)

I care about all kids. I’m proud of all of my heritage both white and black. However if you look at the totality of the circumstances white men have historically been the most violent and caused the most destruction. White men colonized the world.
Your theory doesn’t hold true when you look at the world.
Also funny thing is my white family is waaay more sensitive to inequities and aggressions than I am.

You aren't a lawyer... you're a history teacher. You and every other black person that blames history for the content of character, or lack thereof, we see today. You weren't prevented from anything via the 'system' you talk about.
 
He's just clarified it applies to both private and public so see yah guys....just signed our month to month agreement for Utah.

He says hasn't announced college yet because new UC chair is coming on but will announce college guidelines shortly and will be similar.

I been called worse, but Mac, America is an incredible difficult place to live and compete in work. Focus on family, get a HS degree at a minimum, don't have a kid early in years, and work hard. My grandfather came over fresh off the boat, had no pennies, didn't speak the language, had a knapsack of a couple shirts and pants, but laid a foundation for his next generation with his hard work, persistence and determination. Skills that can't be given to anyone but are only earned.

This is the lie that is often perpetuated by many immigrant families. The reality is that many immigrants came to the USA with education, money, and cultural capital. Most of the poor folks in Michigan for example can’t afford a trip to Europe, Africa, Panama, China etc.

So how did your grandfather get to the USA w/o money, education, and cultural capital?

Have you looked at the rest of the world? The United States is blowing the world away for new COVID cases. It's not even close. And it didn't have to be that way. Saying "it's inevitable" is just factually incorrect.

I have a number of friends and family in Italy. Italy has been open for almost two months and yesterday it had 230 new cases and 11 deaths. In a country of 60 million people. They just locked down hard and long enough -- about 8-10 weeks of a hard lockdown -- to get the new cases very low, like under 2% positive. With numbers that low, they can keep on top of the flare ups. Plus Italy (along with Spain) has something like 80% of people wearing masks now. Have you seen pictures of Italy now? They have absolutely very close to normal life and almost no COVID.

The US didn't lock down hard enough or long enough (except maybe NY/NJ/CT). California was actually pretty close...if we had kept a stricter lockdown through May it might have been enough to get our cases low enough so we could keep on top of them. It kills me how close we were.

People need to be honest about why we are where we are. We lacked the will at every level to really lockdown for the period of time that it would take to make a difference. Instead we got the worst of all worlds. We sort of locked down for 6-8 weeks. Canceled school, lots of people out of work, small businesses shut down. And then we re-opened too fast and too early, people decided to go see their friends, go to bars and restaurants, socialize like normal times, so we got an even worse resurgence. Now all the work we did staying home in the spring, sacrifices that were made, is completely flushed down the toilet.

This has pretty much discredited at this point. Spain is accelerating again despite rigorous lockdowns and mask mandates. Sweden is disappearing despite being attacked as lax. At this point it's pretty clear that the Rona doesn't care about any government policy. You can hold onto your illusion that we can actually do something and be comfortable in the matrix, or you can take the red pill and join some of us in the ugly reality.

This isn't what liberals want. They don't want people following the rules. They don't want people like this having a skill so they can earn for themselves and think for themselves. THESE people won't vote for liberals because they know nothing should be handed to them. THESE people know they'll be paid a living wage because they're now American citizens and they'll earn it.

It's the illegal that comes here in the dead of night, working for $2 an hour and worrying about deportation everyday. THOSE are the immigrants willing to give liberals their votes.

WTF, the death rates from many of the counties in these states dwarf any other county in the US. The top ten per capita death rates (counties >500,000 population) in the US are all NY and NJ counties and 15 of the top 16 are from NY, NJ or CT. The average per capita death rate for the top ten counties (>500,000) is 7 times the highest county (LA) in California.

Both sides are guilty. $2 an hour? I knew a guy who is no longer in the trade biz that was taking advantage of immigrants ((illegal and legal)) but paying them under the table. It wasnt no $2 an hour, that's for sure. Some get paid really well and they dont have to pay taxes. We need to fix this on both sides and keep the bad people out. These are not bad people. Their being exploited by everyone.

Maybe your kids can go to BYU. Just let them know that your pal MacDre said not to drink a Coke during their campus visit to BYU. I was told caffeine is a drug.

Should we safely assume now that if schools going online (including colleges) we will not see any youth sports in 2020?

NorCal maybe. I can't see how he tells parents sports are open here but your kid can't go to school Question for NorCal is if they are through their curve or will accelerate.

I know I am going to be hugely unpopular after saying this but I think sports is done and done. At least for this year at least... maybe at the collegiate level it can be salvaged but for youth and club soccer specifically whether its SCDSL, ECNL,ECRL, MLS, GAL, DPL, CRL, AWOL, HPV, IOU, DUI, etc, I think it's over.... (SO CAL) what say you @Grace T. @Copa9 ??

Bruno's parents came with education and $500. That was late 60s and $500 is more than zero. Dad of 4, how much is $500 in todays times? I will say some people came here without their willingness to come. That sucks and need's to be in the discussion.
